Hello! I'm Michelle, 43 yrs old, 299 lbs, 5'10.

I started doing everything in October. It doesn't seem like a long time but it feels like a long time. LOL I was on a roll with all of my appointments but then hit a snag with this new primary care doctor. She was so paranoid about writing the referral that I ended up having to go back to my old doctor for it. I got a physical and she wrote the letter. Of course I had to pay for it, but whatever it was done. I faxed it yesterday. I'm really glad I did it this way because I found out I'm pre-diabetic. That scares me. A few family members suffer from diabetes and I don't want any parts of that.

I have to do a sleep study this weekend to rule out sleep apnea but the coordinator at my surgeon's office said that will not stop her from submitting the information to my insurance company. Since I had a colonoscopy, I now know I have a hiatal hernia that he will repair during my surgery. I'm super nervous about that but my favorite saying is, "it is what it is".

Good luck to you!

Thanks!

Good luck! Waiting is the hardest part

It sure is ???? I think I'm giving myself anxiety. I will feel so much better after I get a response from insurance so we can get this thing moving.
